    Hello everyone!

    I just bought a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 and looking for ideas on suspension lifts?
    want to run 33's, hows the Stage 2 Icon lift?

    Nick

    Don't waste your time with the Icon AAL. Rides like crap on all surfaces. Get something better. I don't have any suggestions since I still have the AAL, but I am looking into a new leaf pack from some other company. They sure can't ride any worse!

    AALs are the only bad thing with the kit. I recommend going with Alcans for leaf packs

    Heard good things about Dakars in the rear. That will probably the way I go when I get a modest lift

    Buy the Stage 1 kit and buy a separate rear lift. The stage 1 rear shocks are good for I think 0-3" lift.

    I'm stage 1 right now, If I want to go higher, Ill buy a new leaf pack and crank the front up a little bit.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    I like my dakars with long overload removed and icon 2.0 rr shocks.

    I want to run 285/70/17 but I hope it's not to big of a tire?
